Program Description
MakeInstall creates an INSTALL.EXE for your Java program, with full install and uninstall support.
InstallShield overhead is too large: You have just finished your Java application. Now, how do you create a installation program with full install and uninstall support? Do you use InstallShield or a similar product? You could, but InstallShield has a large overhead -- for the simpliest of programs (installing a single file) you are looking at a large install program! That is not acceptable.
MakeInstall is the solution: MakeInstall packs a lot of power into a very small package. The EXE overhead is incredibly small.
